Realistic assessment of tire and road wear particle emissions and their influencing factors on different types of roads - ScienceDirect

This study aims to examine tire and road wear particle (TRWP) emissions under realistic conditions in order to provide some valuable insights into understanding their sources and fate in the environment. TRWP emissions were evaluated with a fully instrumented vehicle driving on five representative road types: urban, ring road, suburban, highway, and rural. Multiple vehicle dynamic variables were recorded to assess the factors influencing these emissions. For the first time, emitted particles were collected on filters and analyzed by means of pyrolysis coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine the polymeric content of tires, in specifically quantifying styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and butadiene rubber (BR) pyrolytic markers....
